Katherine Rohrbacher is a native of Fort Wayne, Indiana and currently resides in Los Angeles, California. She received her BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, with a concentration in painting, in 2005.
She earned her MFA in 2009 from the Hoffberger School of Painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art where she studied under the late Grace Hartigan, artists Joyce Kozloff and Timothy App and NYC art critic Dominique Nahas.
She also received a painting fellowship at the Vermont Studio Center and is a member of the Los Angeles Art Association.
Katherine’s most recent body of work is a series of self portraits exploring the crossroads of her past, present and future. Her use of pattern and glitter is a constant throughout her work which evokes a sense of hope and beauty, yet an underlying feeling of melancholy is always present.
